Join us for an all-day Kwanzaa celebration filled with festive art-making activities, film screenings and more--all free of charge!

124 PM
Studio View Film Screening: Black Candle
Narrated by world-renowned poet Maya Angelou, The Black Candle (2008), is a landmark, award-winning documentary that explores the African-American experience through Kwanzaa. The film is an extraordinary, inspirational story about the struggle and triumph of the African-American family, community, and culture. Filmed across the United States, Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, The Black Candle is more than a film about a holiday; it's a celebration of a people!

15 PM
HandsOn: Kuumba Crafting with Buttons
Use markers and crayons to let your Kuumba (creativity) show while designing your own Kwanzaa-themed buttons! Kuumba is the sixth principle of Kwanzaa.

23 PM
Story Arts: Storytelling with Lady Nyota
Experience the lively tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and friends with storyteller extraordinaire, Lady Nyota. Steeped in the African oral tradition, Lady Nyota will use song, musical instruments, puppetry, and rhyme to share tales of how these and other animals used the seven principles of Kwanzaa in stories full of fun, mischief, and magic.

45 PM
Harambee!
Join noted scholars Maitefa Angaza and Will Halsey for an interactive and informative presentation celebrating the holiday of Kwanzaa. Focusing on the day's principle of Umoja (Unity), the presentation will give a brief overview of the history of Kwanzaa and will conclude with a libation and Mishuma (candle) lighting ceremony that all families will be sure to enjoy!
